Delphiniums remain one of my favorite flowers.
If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you know by the preponderance of their images that I favor the deep purple ones.
The one featured in these photographs is the Pacific giant that has done very well at the base of the terraces in the backyard. This year, it was in bloom in mid-October, when I took these images; and, again, in late December, while we had a warm and sunny late fall.
I cut and brought indoors a few days before Christmas a flower stock from this plant almost three feet long.
In one of these photographs, you can see California primroses and the chimney bell flower fading as the nights grew longer and colder.
